2.5/5
"Five-star direction, however, can only take you so far if your audience have followed their stomach contents out of the building."
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
"if the imagery is always grotesque, and if the characters are always reduced to their basest drives, Pálfi presents his carnivalesque concerns in an artfully aestheticised package that belies the ugliness within."

2/4
"
Taxidermia
is merely slimy biological vaudeville."
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
"[P]ulls out all the stops in a vicious attack on the senses that leaves no ugly truth about mankind unsaid -- nor unseen. It is a tribute to Palfi's talents that the film is also compulsively watchable."

3.5/5
"Pálfi's fascination with the body -- its daily excretions and emanations -- borders on obsession"

B-
"Visionary Hungarian director Gyorgy Palfi ("Hukkle") creates a grotesque satire that dissects Hungary's nationalist self identity with a pitch black sense of humor and extended gross-out sequences..."

2/4
"Nothing if not an intriguing failure. One does not care about what happens so much as one grows increasingly alarmed at where director Gyorgy Palfi will take his film next."

Dustin Putman
"All this helps to shape Pálfi's crudely bombastic but impressive philosophical view of the body as landscape and art, a source of personal discovery, wonder, and annihilation."
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
81/100
"Despite non-stop horror and perversity, nothing in the movie seems gratuitous. Its vision remains so comprehensive and convincing that it justifies everything that it puts you through."

4.5/5

Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis
3.5/5
"It's one of the most astonishing, energetic, chaotic films you'll ever see. And best of all, it could make you decide to give up the diet forever."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
3/5
"I still have next to no freaking idea what I just sat through, but (despite the surreal ugliness of the thing) I can't say I actually regret watching it."
